Self-rimming apron-front sink
A self-rimming sink is provided. The self-rimming sink includes a basin and a rim extending outwardly from an upper end of the basin in a relatively horizontal orientation. The rim is configured to be placed on top of a countertop for supporting the sink. The self-rimming sink also includes an apron coupled to the rim and defining a front portion of the sink. The apron has a front surface extending vertically below the rim and laterally between a first side surface and an opposite second side surface. The first and second side surfaces each having a front vertical lip that extends laterally to an outer periphery of the rim and a rear side wall portion. The rear side wall portion is recessed relative to the front vertical lip and the outer periphery of the rim.
1. A sink comprising:
a basin;
a rim extending about an upper portion of at least a portion of the basin; and
an apron extending below the rim and having a first end portion and an opposite second end portion;
wherein the first and second end portions each comprise a front edge defining a lateral extremity of the apron, wherein the front edges of the first and second end portions are configured to at least partially overlap a front portion of a cabinet supporting the sink so as to conceal a cut line made in the front portion of the cabinet;
wherein each of the first and second end portions further comprise a rear edge extending from the front edge, wherein the rear edges define a rearward extremity of the apron; and
wherein a lateral distance between the rear edges is less than a lateral distance between the front edges.
2. The sink of claim 1 , wherein the rear edges are configured to be substantially parallel with and abut the front portion of the cabinet.
3. The sink of claim 1 , wherein the first and second end portions each further comprise an end surface recessed laterally from the front edge.
4. The sink of claim 3 , wherein the first and second end portions each further comprise a vertical lip, the vertical lip including a first transition surface extending from the front edge in a rearward direction and a second transition surface extending from the first transition surface toward the end surface.
5. The sink of claim 1 , wherein the apron has a height that is less than a height of the basin.
6. The sink of claim 1 , wherein the apron has a height that is substantially the same as a height of the basin.
7. The sink of claim 1 , wherein the sink is a top mount sink.
8. A sink comprising:
a basin;
a rim extending about an upper portion of at least a portion of the basin; and
an apron defining a front portion of the sink, the apron having a planar front surface extending vertically below the rim and laterally between a first end portion and an opposite second end portion;
wherein the first and second end portions each comprise a front edge defining a lateral extremity of the apron, wherein the front edges and the planar front surface cooperatively define a frontward extremity of the apron;
wherein the front edges define outermost extensions of the apron configured to at least partially overlap a front portion of a cabinet supporting the sink so as to conceal a cut line in the front portion of the cabinet;
wherein each of the first and second end portions further comprise a rear edge extending from the front edge, wherein the rear edges define a rearward extremity of the apron; and
wherein a lateral distance between the rear edges is less than a lateral distance between the front edges.
9. The sink of claim 8 , wherein the rear edges are configured to be substantially parallel with and abut the front portion of the cabinet.
10. The sink of claim 8 , wherein the first and second end portions each further comprise an end surface recessed laterally from the front edge.
11. The sink of claim 10 , wherein the first and second end portions each include a vertical lip, the vertical lip including a first transition surface extending from the front edge in a rearward direction and a second transition surface extending from the first transition surface toward the end surface.
12. A sink comprising:
a basin;
a rim extending from an upper portion of the basin; and
an apron extending downward from the rim and having a planar front surface extending laterally between a first end and a second end;
wherein the first and second ends each comprise:
a front edge defining a lateral extremity of the apron, wherein the planar front surface and the front edges cooperatively define a frontward extremity of the apron; and
a rear edge extending from the front edge, wherein the rear edges define a rearward extremity of the apron;
wherein the first end and the second end each define outermost extensions of the sink configured to at least partially overlap a front portion of a cabinet supporting the sink so as to conceal a cut line in the front portion of the cabinet; and
wherein a lateral distance between the rear edges is less than a lateral distance between the front edges.
13. The sink of claim 12 , wherein the rear edges are configured to be substantially parallel with and abut the front portion of the cabinet.
14. The sink of claim 12 , wherein the first and second ends each further comprise an end surface recessed laterally from the front edge.
15. The sink of claim 14 , wherein the first and second ends each further comprise a vertical lip, the vertical lip including a first transition surface extending from the front edge in a rearward direction and a second transition surface extending from the first transition surface toward the end surface.
